Zanac Neo - In Search of Faeries

  They don't make faeries like they used to... In Zanac, finding and 
grabbing a hidden faerie did two things: touch the faerie has the same 
immediate effect as an Enemy Eraser, and the next fortress you came across 
would be immediately eliminated with no effort on your part.
  In Zanac Neo, faeries still act as Enemy Erasers on contact, but after 
that all tehy do is take one bullet hit for your ship. If you keep a 
faerie alive through the next fortess you face, she'll leave after the 
battle, leaving behind a green "roulette" subweapon chip for you. They're 
still useful, but I miss the instant annihilation. :)

  Finding every faerie will be noted in the, erm, Players Note. (Note: the 
following list is not necessarily every faerie in the game. I'll find out 
once I get them all in one game.)

Area 1:
  - When the stage starts, immediately head to the far right side of the 
screen.

Area 2:
  - Shoot the second green dome you find on the left side of the screen 
(the first green dome on the left will be halfway off the screen; you want 
to hit the next one.)

Area 3: 
  - Shoot the last floating platform that appears before the first 
fortress. Aim for roughly the center of the screen.

Area 4:
  - Shoot the single tree on the far left screen right before you enter 
the forest portion of the stage. (There'll be another single tree just 
left of the center of the screen; this isn't the one you want.)

Area 6: 
  - Shoot the small platform on the far left of the screen opposite the
Eye Eye right before the final fortress.

Area 7:
  - Shoot the far left side of the screen after passing through the area 
with a series of small destroyable blue domes on either side of the 
screen.
  - Shoot the large red zone in the middle of the screen shortly after the 
second boss.

Area 8:
  - There is a faerie here, but I wasn't paying attention to how I 
triggered it. I do know it's slightly to the right of the center of the 
screen, not too long before you reach the claw boss.

Area 9:
  - Hmm... there is no really good way to describe this one... It's at the 
beginning of the stage, on the right side of the screen, right at the 
purple line where the "buildings" on the edge of the screen end. It's not 
terribly far into the level, appearing a little bit after the box swarms 
start appearing.
  - After the long vertical drop after the second fortress, head to the 
far left of the screen. The faerie can be found at the first girder that 
appears.
